Has a ROM release prediction EVER been right?

[mstevens]

I'm in no particular hurry to get an official WM 6.1 ROM, so I'm asking more out of curiosity than anything else.

It seems as if a good way to estimate when an official release will hit the streets is to read all the threads started by people who have it on rock-solid authority that the release will be on a given date as surely as the sun will rise. Take the latest of those absolutely correct guarantees (since, for some odd reason, there will typically be multiple mutually exclusive completely certain dates), then add a few weeks to that.

Does anyone here know if there has ever been a correct prediction posted about a specific release date more than a day or two ahead of time?
